View Menu Chapter 26 196 Show Grid Select this option to impose a grid pattern over the current image. The color and spacing of the grid can be set within the Preferences. Show Lost Highlights The Show Lost Highlights feature identifies areas in which detail may have been lost in the highlights by locating pixels with the maximum value for one or more channels. This information can be used when adjusting the tonality of the image, such as when applying white points, to ensure that the optimal amount of detail is retained within the image. When you enable the Show Lost Highlights command, the entire image will become black while displaying any areas that contain maximum values for one or more channels. Only those areas that contain maximum values will be displayed within the image window when this option is enabled. That is, only the pixels that contain a value of 255 will be displayed for each of the three channels. The resulting image will contain white, primary, and secondary colors only. The following table describes values these colors represent: White Yellow Magenta Cyan This area contains values of 255 for the Red, Green, and Blue channels. This area contains values of 255 for the Red and Green channel. This area contains values of 255 for the Red and Blue channels. This area contains values of 255 for the Green and Blue channels. Red This area contains values of 255 for the Red channel. Green This area contains values of 255 for the Green channel. Blue This area contains values of 255 for the Blue channel. With this display on, you can adjust the settings of one of the enhancements that has already been applied to reduce the brightening effect and prevent details from becoming blown out.
